A former Catholic monk who is facing child abuse claims, has been extradited from Australia to Scotland, BBC Scotland understands.
The 83-year-old Australian priest, Denis “Chrysostom” Alexander, taught at Fort Augustus Abbey school in the Highlands.
He has been at the centre of an extradition battle since 2015.
His arrival in Scotland comes seven years after BBC Scotland first revealed claims against him.
Fr Alexander, who had claimed he was too ill to face trial, is expected to appear at Inverness Sheriff Court later to answer multiple charges of child sex abuse. He denies the allegations.
